Mr. Goodaîl, the new owher, bought the billiard business in April from Clary King. "Business- is average for this Urne of year, " the billiard propri- etor said as lie rang up a sale on the cash register. Mr. Goodail is a much travelled man and, has worked at mariy different trades. .The billiard room itself has five snooker tables and ample 1ýN,,jWvIng space. Originally, ac- w\lrding to Stan Goodaîl, there -Were six tables in operation. This led to congestion, so he removed one table at a financial loss to himself but a benefit to his po playing customers. Fluorescent lights above the tables cast an even glow on the green table top. The building's log wal]s are met by a hardwood floor at walking level., It is cool at Stan's place. According to the new owner, you do not have to be a pool shari to use lis tables, anyone can play. There is a limit to the qualifying ages, however, inscribed ona sign by the pool room entrance. It reads. only those "over 18 anc Under 99" are allowed. There is a snack bar ou~t front for cokes, cbiocolate bars and other saleable nick-nacks. In one cor- ner, half a dozen hand paintec tics hang from the wall. These seemed out of place and when ask- cd about thern, Mr. Goodail ex- plained. A veteran with his left arnm amputated below the eMow and his lcft l«g crippled, -tame intc Stan's place with the ties. Xi dently no one else in Bowman- vIlle lad bouglit tics from the Veteran so, 'II bought a dozen," Stan said. The story behind the tics la very interesting accordIng to Mr. Goodaîl. A group of veterans have start- ed a combined operation in To- ronto. Those with hands and crpled legs make and paint the tis. Those with legs and Injur- ed or amputated arms go out lnto the business world as salesmen. Born in a small town called St. George near St. John New Bruns- wick, Stan, the son of a local policeman, spent the first 16 years of hiz life there. Flnishing sehool and getting the urge ta "4move on" Stan shipped out west i 1925 on a harvest excursion. His labours at that time, netted him $8, a dav which, even in aur expensive world. would be considcred a fairly good wage. He warked on a farmi near Regina. Mr. Goodal "liked the west" anid instead of returning cast, lie stayed in the prairie country. I figured prospects there wcre as good as back home in the Mari- times," the billlerd hall proprl- etor sald. Hc stayed wlth farmdng for ap- proximately a year and a hall, then lie moved ta other jobs. For a whlle hc worked wlth the Sas- katchiewan Departmcnt of For- estry, then he operated a billiard hall for two years. Tirlng cf billiards, le joined the Hudson Bay Company staff and travelled to Isle Lacrosse, on Lake Laponge in northcrn Saskatchewan, where he worked in a company store. While in the west, Stan Good- all marrled a Campbellford, Nor- thumberland County, girl, the late Stella Patrick, in Moosejaw, Saskatchewan in the year 1929. Shortly aiter the couple moved east in 1941, aie died. Working for a Peterboroughi oompany, Stan made several bus- Iness trips ta Lakcfield, Ontario, where lie met and married bis second ife. the former Pearl Pea- cock. Moving ta Lakefield, lie ~oeated a billiard acadcmy, then purchascd Clary King's billiard I7all, and in April-.of this year he - movcd ta Bowmanville. Mrs. Goodal is prescntly liv.. Ing In Lakefield, but according to her liusband, she and lier uncle will move ta Bowmanvilllc as soon ats a sale is completed for their Leefield business.

Friday, July l4tli. Introduced by Art Ribey as "an exceptionally well informed Ro- tarion," Mr. Calder spoke first on the International Rotary Fund. ]'und Donated Supported solely by donations, tic Paul Harris fund, in 1949, en- abled the educational interchange af 85 students o! foreign lands at an approximate cost o! $3,000 eaci. According to Mr. Calder, Inter- national Rotary hopes that in the near future some 500 students may benefit from Rotary benevolence each year. "Aiding exceptional college and university students," said Mr. Calder, "is one of the things we can do to sprcad Ro- tary around the world." Originally started as an emer- gency fund ta relieve hardship throughôut tie wonld, it took on a different mcaning with the re- tiring from active Rotary ciccles o! Rotarian Paul Harris a few years ago. It was thus man's be- lief, according to Mr. Calder, that the fund should lie used for uni- versity student exchange there- by bringinLi world nations dloser together through education and mutual understanding. 1927 Beglnning The fund, originally started as a Rotary emergency fund in 1927 when Arch. Clump of Cleveland was President of. International Ratary, consisted o! "two or three hundred thousand dollars." Al- lowed ta spend only thec mterest, ,the amount was thouglit inade- quate and a drive for two or three million dollars was launched. Disregarding personal. assessment and relying on donations fromn its 350,000 club members, Rotary In- ternational amassed $2,300,00. Three years ago, tic fund was applied ta world education and Rotary International started "tak- ing students from one part of the world ta another," allowing therm .tpbenefit.friom foreign educatio,.. Partieular qualifications' were Stipulated by Rotary Internation- al which wcre ta be met by spir- ing students wishing ta apply for assistance in post-graduatc atu- dies. Rigld Qualifications To quaiify, each student must have succcssfully completed lis !irst degree course; lie must have been outstanding ini lis particular. line and possess "somethîng out of the ordinary ability." Furtier- more lie must guarantee when ac- ccpting a grant that lie will re- turn ta lis home country and live there for a minimum o! one ycar. This qualification was intcnded for the purpose of spreading knowledge of foreign nations throughout the liomciand. Last year, said Joc Calder, 56 students benefitted framn the Paul Harris fund; this ycar, 86 stu- dents werc accepted as qualified n Tooto'a lad fromn India lia& cianged lis ideas very much ini the last year," said Mr. Calder. A Canadian froni. Gueipi's O.A.C. bas just completed lis first year in an English unîversity. 18,000 Mlle Trip Treating Bowmanvilic Rdtari. ans ta a summary o! the experi. ences lie cncountcred on bis 18,- 000 mile trip tirougi Europe last summer, Mr. Calder described in detail the countries lie visited and the historic sites lie viewed. "The Littie wheel," lie said, describing Rotary's mcmbership badge, "is the most valuabie insignia you can carry on a world tour." PNo matter where you visit, lie told the club, you have friends.
